compute the Poisson distribution function for (x,par) The Poisson PDF is implemented by means of Euler's Gamma-function (for the factorial), so for all integer arguments it is correct. BUT for non-integer values it IS NOT equal to the Poisson distribution. see TMath::PoissonI to get a non-smooth function. Note that for large values of par, it is better to call TMath::Gaus(x,par,sqrt(par),kTRUE)/* */

Computation of the probability for a certain Chi-squared (chi2) and number of degrees of freedom (ndf). Calculations are based on the incomplete gamma function P(a,x), where a=ndf/2 and x=chi2/2. P(a,x) represents the probability that the observed Chi-squared for a correct model should be less than the value chi2. The returned probability corresponds to 1-P(a,x), which denotes the probability that an observed Chi-squared exceeds the value chi2 by chance, even for a correct model. --- NvE 14-nov-1998 UU-SAP Utrecht
Calculates the Kolmogorov distribution function,/* */
which gives the probability that Kolmogorov's test statistic will exceed the value z assuming the null hypothesis. This gives a very powerful test for comparing two one-dimensional distributions. see, for example, Eadie et al, "statistocal Methods in Experimental Physics', pp 269-270). This function returns the confidence level for the null hypothesis, where: z = dn*sqrt(n), and dn is the maximum deviation between a hypothetical distribution function and an experimental distribution with n events NOTE: To compare two experimental distributions with m and n events, use z = sqrt(m*n/(m+n))*dn Accuracy: The function is far too accurate for any imaginable application. Probabilities less than 10^-15 are returned as zero. However, remember that the formula is only valid for "large" n. Theta function inversion formula is used for z <= 1 This function was translated by Rene Brun from PROBKL in CERNLIB.
Statistical test whether two one-dimensional sets of points are compatible with coming from the same parent distribution, using the Kolmogorov test. That is, it is used to compare two experimental distributions of unbinned data. Input: a,b: One-dimensional arrays of length na, nb, respectively. The elements of a and b must be given in ascending order. option is a character string to specify options "D" Put out a line of "Debug" printout "M" Return the Maximum Kolmogorov distance instead of prob Output: The returned value prob is a calculated confidence level which gives a statistical test for compatibility of a and b. Values of prob close to zero are taken as indicating a small probability of compatibility. For two point sets drawn randomly from the same parent distribution, the value of prob should be uniformly distributed between zero and one. in case of error the function return -1 If the 2 sets have a different number of points, the minimum of the two sets is used. Method: The Kolmogorov test is used. The test statistic is the maximum deviation between the two integrated distribution functions, multiplied by the normalizing factor (rdmax*sqrt(na*nb/(na+nb)). Code adapted by Rene Brun from CERNLIB routine TKOLMO (Fred James) (W.T. Eadie, D. Drijard, F.E. James, M. Roos and B. Sadoulet, Statistical Methods in Experimental Physics, (North-Holland, Amsterdam 1971) 269-271) Method Improvement by Jason A Detwiler (JADetwiler@lbl.gov) The nuts-and-bolts of the TMath::KolmogorovTest() algorithm is a for-loop over the two sorted arrays a and b representing empirical distribution functions. The for-loop handles 3 cases: when the next points to be evaluated satisfy a>b, a<b, or a=b: for (Int_t i=0;i<na+nb;i++) { if (a[ia-1] < b[ib-1]) { rdiff -= sa; ia++; if (ia > na) {ok = kTRUE; break;} } else if (a[ia-1] > b[ib-1]) { rdiff += sb; ib++; if (ib > nb) {ok = kTRUE; break;} } else { rdiff += sb - sa; ia++; ib++; if (ia > na) {ok = kTRUE; break;} if (ib > nb) {ok = kTRUE; break;} } rdmax = TMath::Max(rdmax,TMath::Abs(rdiff)); } For the last case, a=b, the algorithm advances each array by one index in an attempt to move through the equality. However, this is incorrect when one or the other of a or b (or both) have a repeated value, call it x. For the KS statistic to be computed properly, rdiff needs to be calculated after all of the a and b at x have been tallied (this is due to the definition of the empirical distribution function; another way to convince yourself that the old CERNLIB method is wrong is that it implies that the function defined as the difference between a and b is multi-valued at x -- besides being ugly, this would invalidate Kolmogorov's theorem). The solution is to just add while-loops into the equality-case handling to perform the tally: } else { double x = a[ia-1]; while(a[ia-1] == x && ia <= na) { rdiff -= sa; ia++; } while(b[ib-1] == x && ib <= nb) { rdiff += sb; ib++; } if (ia > na) {ok = kTRUE; break;} if (ib > nb) {ok = kTRUE; break;} } NOTE1 A good description of the Kolmogorov test can be seen at: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda35g.htm
Computation of Voigt function (normalised). Voigt is a convolution of gauss(xx) = 1/(sqrt(2*pi)*sigma) * exp(xx*xx/(2*sigma*sigma) and lorentz(xx) = (1/pi) * (lg/2) / (xx*xx + g*g/4) functions. The Voigt function is known to be the real part of Faddeeva function also called complex error function [2]. The algoritm was developed by J. Humlicek [1].

Calculates hash index from any char string. Based on precalculated table of 256 specially selected numbers. These numbers are selected in such a way, that for string length == 4 (integer number) the hash is unambigous, i.e. from hash value we can recalculate input (no degeneration). The quality of hash method is good enough, that "random" numbers made as R = Hash(1), Hash(2), ...Hash(N) tested by <R>, <R*R>, <Ri*Ri+1> gives the same result as for libc rand(). For string: i = TMath::Hash(string,nstring); For int: i = TMath::Hash(&intword,sizeof(int)); For pointer: i = TMath::Hash(&pointer,sizeof(void*)); V.Perev This function is kept for back compatibility.

Computes the density of Cauchy distribution at point x by default, standard Cauchy distribution is used (t=0, s=1) t is the location parameter s is the scale parameter The Cauchy distribution, also called Lorentzian distribution, is a continuous distribution describing resonance behavior The mean and standard deviation of the Cauchy distribution are undefined. The practical meaning of this is that collecting 1,000 data points gives no more accurate an estimate of the mean and standard deviation than does a single point. The formula was taken from "Engineering Statistics Handbook" on site http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda3663.htm Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.

Parameters N and M stand for degrees of freedom of chi-squares mentioned above parameter F is the actual variable x of the density function p(x) and the point at which the density function is calculated. About F distribution: F-distribution arises in testing whether two random samples have the same variance. It is the ratio of two chi-square distributions, with N and M degrees of freedom respectively, where each chi-square is first divided by it's number of degrees of freedom. Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.
Calculates the cumulative distribution function of F-distribution, this function occurs in the statistical test of whether two observed samples have the same variance. For this test a certain statistic F, the ratio of observed dispersion of the first sample to that of the second sample, is calculated. N and M stand for numbers of degrees of freedom in the samples 1-FDistI() is the significance level at which the hypothesis "1 has smaller variance than 2" can be rejected. A small numerical value of 1 - FDistI() implies a very significant rejection, in turn implying high confidence in the hypothesis "1 has variance greater than 2". Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.

Computes density function for Student's t- distribution (the probability function (integral of density) is computed in StudentI). First parameter stands for x - the actual variable of the density function p(x) and the point at which the density is calculated. Second parameter stands for number of degrees of freedom. About Student distribution: Student's t-distribution is used for many significance tests, for example, for the Student's t-tests for the statistical significance of difference between two sample means and for confidence intervals for the difference between two population means. Example: suppose we have a random sample of size n drawn from normal distribution with mean Mu and st.deviation Sigma. Then the variable t = (sample_mean - Mu)/(sample_deviation / sqrt(n)) has Student's t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom. NOTE that this function's second argument is number of degrees of freedom, not the sample size. As the number of degrees of freedom grows, t-distribution approaches Normal(0,1) distribution. Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.
